Intro

Rachelle Ruby Foster is a writer, journalist and educator based in Nottingham, England. She is a lover of words and their ability to influence worldviews, warp time, shift space, and to create community. She has been writing and performing poetry since 2016 and has been teaching English as a foreign language since 2019. Having been diagnosed with Bipolar Type 1 in her early twenties, one of Rachelle's central poetic themes is mental health, along with mortality and relationships. Her interests in journalistic writing are mainly LGBTQ+ topics and arts & culture. As an English teacher Rachelle delivers student-centred communicative lessons, and with a background in acting and performing arts, her delivery is dynamic and enthusiastic with a special emphasis on having fun in the classroom.
